We were blown away by the beautiful ottoman-style Sultan's Corner bedroom and hotel lobby, but even more by the friendly and very helpful staff. This hotel is a jewel, very close to the attractions of Sultanahmet. Can recommend highly. more

We went to Istanbul in march 2009... We've found the arena hotel on booking.com. On the website the hotel seems very clean and confortable, but it's not really like that. In our room the window's glass was cracked and the room wasn't so clean. Heating was not sufficient, so they gave us an electric heater. It must be added that... more

Our stay at the Arena was the best we encountered in any of our travels! The staff met us with lemonade and cookies and open arms. They were professional and so pleasant. They assisted us with any arrangements that we needed to make and almost made us feel like family. The air conditioning in the rooms worked great and the... more

We stayed only one night at Arena hotel in August. There’s not much to say about service or breakfast (we left early and couldn’t even try it). However I decided to leave few comments about the hotel. Good location, quiet street. We took a taxi from the airport, it was not that difficult to find the hotel – they have... more

Very nice hotel with a very friendly helpful staff. The hotel is an old mansion converted to a hotel. It has a quaint courtyard for breakfast and drinks. We were upgraded to one of the Sultan corner rooms. It is roomey and comfortable. The shower worked well but could be upgraded. It is convenient to tourist sites near the Blue... more

We enjoyed our stay. The staff (manager) was extremely helpful. The hotel is on a quiet street, but within easy walking distance of the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. We also walked to the Grand Bazaar and numerous other places. The rooms are charming. The breakfast buffet was excellent. We also had a good dinner in the hotel dining... more

The hotel is well located; just a short walk to Sultanahmet Square and all its attractions. (Don’t miss the Cisterna.) It is quiet and old-fashioned in a very pleasant kind of way and feels like a set from Murder on the Orient Express. The staff are very helpful and friendly, right from the welcome drink and plate of biscuits on... more
